Do you think the stores that give a senior discount are unethical? It is business. Go to Menards, they give no discount.
As I clearly stated, they have no obligation to give a discount. It's taking credit for giving a discount then making it unavailable to customers who ask that is unethical. The same logic would apply to senior discounts.

There are possible openings on the "View" for those who feel perpetually offended.

They have designated parking for veterans at my local Lowe’s. I’ll go there if my local hardware store doesn’t have what I’m looking for.

Each of us view these opportunities differently. I rarely ask or inquire about a veteran's discount. I agree with the veteran gryhkl is referring too. We continue to try and find ways to segment our citizens with rewards, subsidies, trinkets etc. etc. When millions of veterans came home after WW11 they re-entered society and went to work. That is good enough for me. Pretty soon we can develop a group that is giving freebies to left-handed short, obese, veteran, Scandinavians, born in December etc. etc. and that most likely would be a group of 1.
Bryce This. Go to a VA hospital and see if someone is ranting about a veterans discount.

You miss the point. There was no rant about a discount. The thread is about falsehood.

The vet discount is more than the contractor discount.
I have commercial accounts at both Lowe's and Home Depot. Lowe's gives a 5% discount on all commercial purchases, Home Depot does not. Both places offer 10% discount for vets.
When it comes to things like hardware and lumber, I can get better quality for less money using my accounts at regular building supply houses.
Eh...wot?
